And remember, Gamergate was an op from Steve Bannon and Jeffrey fucking Epstein.

So if you really think you're "anti-fascist," you should be anti Adam Baldwin. And anti Exactly This Shit.

remains wild to me that the GOP is the party that's actually treating their opponents like they're an immediate and dire threat that must be eliminated at all costs meanwhile the Dems are like "hmm not sure I totally agree with all of this but let's hear these guys out, just in case"

I have a message to all the woke beta liberal cucks who question our mission in Iran:

Sexual assault is a normalised part of male homosociality, and sexually charged violence against the least masculine or lowest status people in all-male groups and spaces is part of how men teach each other to uphold rape culture.

What's funny is that we know from generations of experiments that human memory is ridiculously, cartoonishly malleable.

People manipulating their pictures like this are literally fucking with their memories. They will remember that event differently, because of the meddling afterwards.

The entirety of US political journalism is fully explicable if we simply do away with the highly flawed assumption that these are good faith actors operating in what they believe to be the public interest

Basically, all of US political life & discourse is premised on the illusion of symmetry between the parties, which requires vastly overstating the flaws of liberals & studiously ingoring the true nature of MAGA.

Establishment journos & pundits will maintain that illusion at any cost.

Yellow Submarine.

In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines

"We should consider if the costs of an increasingly punitive border regime are worth the petty ephemeral benefits that only the most racist people in society even want" - outrageous communism, lunacy, unserious.

"There's too many queers on TV" - brave, necessary, serious politics

Outcry as modern slavery unit is closed | The Observer Funding is being cut from the task force, despite an ongoing investigation into a trafficking ring allegedly run by the late Harrod’s owner Al Fayed

The UK has 130,000 #modernslavery victims and a £60bn annual cost. From April, the government is closing the national unit that coordinates police investigations into it. The reason, per insiders: immigration wins more votes. That is a policy decision with a body count observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

There's a hauntingly beautiful irony in these morons thinking that carefully crafted American hegemony was actually weak and woke, and they would be the ones who would do Power and Dominance properly, and immediately bringing everything crashing down

@DarriogMelanie on X: A top Trump official has been walking around with an electronic device gifted to him by senior foreign intelligence officials.
Mar 14, 2026

Where are all of the “but, her emails,” Republicans on this one?

Officials are normally presented with ceremonial swords or paintings or whatever. But these guys are so fucking stupid that foreign intelligence agencies can literally give them an "Honorary Electronic Communications Device for a Very Special Boi" and they fall for it every time.

Back in the 80s, Dragon Magazine would run parody song lyrics in their April Fools issues; I still find myself occasionally singing

In the sphere where I was born
Lived the oldest gnome I've seen
And he told us of his life
In the gnomish space marines

Half of US broadcast network dramas are about cops Perhaps one reason why America’s national reckoning on police brutality took so long to arrive is because TV is conditioning its citizens to view cops as reliable heroes.

“Jews are overrepresented in the media.”

No, no, no, you’re thinking of cops. Cops are overrepresented in the media.

The reality is the answer is NO to any question. It’s a pretext for a generalized all-purpose NO because Republicans are done with allowing voting altogether.

More and more I want the consequences for the billionaires, politicians, appointees, and lackeys who are committing crimes for Trump to be devastatingly financial.

Take all their money. ALL OF IT. And garnish their wages forever. Let them live off of whatever UBI gets passed in the next admin.

They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.

I was doing some math on the logistics of the "truck it to a different port" meme, which started with a quick wikipedia to find out how much cargo a tanker can carry AND THEY GO UP TO FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND TONNES?????

How is that a real amount of oil that needs to be moved?
